EP!C empowering people, Inspiring capabilities
Through my role as a Graphic Designer at Central States Marketing, I collaborate with EP!C, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I design a wide range of marketing materials that support their mission, including campaign concepts, promotional materials, event branding, logos, monthly newsletters, and other print and digital assets. My work involves translating EP!C’s goals and initiatives into engaging visual communications that strengthen community awareness, promote events, and highlight the impactful services they provide.
Live an EP!C Life Campaign
This visual system was created to celebrate the diverse and connected community that EP!C serves. The messaging aligns with the new website design, carrying over a bright, welcoming gradient that works alongside the recognizable exclamation mark in the logo. Purposeful color choices help tell the story of each program area: blue reinforces the EP!C brand, purple symbolizes opportunity through job placement, and green reflects the growth and support found within host homes. Together, these elements create a unified identity that feels approachable, inclusive, and community-driven.
EP!C’s Bon Appétit Event
Bon Appétit is EP!C’s premier annual culinary fundraising gala, featuring a celebrity chef, gourmet dining, and an evening that brings together community members, sponsors, and supporters to benefit individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As EP!C’s largest annual event, I lead the creative direction by developing the event branding, logo, and visual identity, carrying the campaign across invitations, digital promotions, sponsorship materials, event signage, and printed collateral to create a cohesive guest experience.
